The problem really is, Mutt is seeing both your subscribe entry in your
.muttrc *and* the list headers.  The auto-detect of list headers is a
relatively recent feature addition (either 1.4 or 1.5)... One is uncertain
whether it's a feature or a bug that it does both instead of choosing;
absent documentation I'd call it a bug (on the premise that if it's
documented, it's a feature :)

One of these years I really need to go through and clean up my .muttrc. :)
